Each Sunday， when I was young， the families would gather at my grandparents’ home in New York. Mother had one brother and two sisters； they would be there with their children. These visits would begin with fun， laughter and plenty to eat. 　　Maybe because there were so many of us， or maybe because we all spoke so excitedly， somehow a conversation would soon turn from an opposing point of view into an angry shouting match. But the following Sunday， all the families would show up again as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened. 　　The arguments were more likely to occur between my mother， Florence， and her sister， Mary. I never knew why they didn’t get along， but I do know that they loved each other very much. 　　When Mother moved to America with my brother and me， Aunt Mary took her under her wing to help her adapt to life in another country. Mary was always there for my mom， and my mom was always there for her. 　　After my grandparents passed away， Mother and Aunt Mary met only once more. It was at my grandfather’s funeral （葬礼）. As the service ended， some words were exchanged， and a short but strong disagreement occurred between the two sisters — something about the will. Mother and Aunt Mary did not speak again. I knew it upset Mother very much because she had deeply loved her sister. I was too young to advise her. Thinking back， I should have tried. 　　Eight years later， news coming from nowhere said that Aunt Mary had passed away. It shocked our whole family. Mom couldn’t wait a second longer to check on the information. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 　　She called Aunt Mary， hoping for a response that would prove the inaccuracy of the news.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　The sister reconnected， their voices on the phone carrying the weight of years apart. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 3 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Section Ⅳ　Writing an essay about non-cash payments Ⅰ. 语篇解读： 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在树林里与一只小鹿邂逅，成了好朋友，并在小鹿受伤时对它及时救助的故事。 1.A　根据文章首句可知，作者并不知道这响声是什么声音，应该是不确定接下来会发生什么。 2.C　 根据空后的whether to run away or stay可知，小鹿见到人的时候对于是逃还是留下来这个问题需要思考，它静止不动应该是在思考。 3.D　根据常识可知，小鹿见到人应该会害怕，作者怕把它吓跑，所以保持不动。 4.C　根据本段首句中的For a few moments， the deer stood still及空后的and changed its position可知，小鹿应该是由于紧张和害怕而不敢动，时间长了坚持不住所以换了个姿势。 5.D　根据空后的it came towards me and touched my hand with its nose可知，小鹿向作者走过来，并用鼻子碰了碰作者的手，这是作者没有想到的，小鹿的这一行为令作者感到惊讶。 6.A　根据上文I slowly reached out my hand.和it came towards me and touched my hand with its nose可知，作者伸出手，想和小鹿亲近，小鹿走过来，用鼻子碰了碰作者的手。由此推断，作者对小鹿的亲昵行为应该是高兴的。 7.C　根据接下来的两句以及第三段可知，作者和小鹿的关系是一段特殊的联系。 8.A　作者去远足，不一定每次都能遇见小鹿，所以他会有意寻找小鹿。 9.B　根据下半句determining to protect and care for it可知，作者想要好好保护和照顾小鹿，应该是作者感受到了对小鹿的责任感。 10.A　根据语境可知，此处应该是作者又一次去徒步时意外看到小鹿受伤。catch sight of 看到；突然看见，相当于see。 11.D　根据上下文可知，小鹿受伤躺在地上，非常痛苦，可能会有生命危险，作者立刻采取行动把它送到动物医院，应该是帮助它活下来。 12.D　根据语境可知，小鹿受伤住院接受治疗，作者去医院时给它带去食物并安抚它，应该是要帮助它早日恢复健康。 13.C　参见上题解析。 14.A　根据空前的It was a long and difficult process及空后的the deer was well enough to be sent back into the wild可知，小鹿接受长时间的治疗后，终于康复。 15.D　根据文章第一段最后两句可知，此处指作者与这只小鹿的相遇。 Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了查尔斯是如何为了成为一名出色的厨师而努力的。 16.an　考查冠词。chef为泛指，且outstanding的发音以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。 17.to　考查介词。短语prior to表示“在……之前”。 18.consisted　考查时态。结合上文took可知，发生在过去，应用一般过去时。 19.competence　考查名词。作动词的宾语用名词competence，且不可数。 20.which　考查定语从句。非限制性定语从句修饰上文句子，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词which。 21.Generally　考查副词。短语generally speaking表示“一般来说”，位于句首，首字母大写。 22.to grasp　考查非谓语动词。此处为句型it will take sb some time to do sth表示“做某事花费某人多少时间”。 23.stuffed　考查非谓语动词。此处stuff与cakes之间构成被动关系，应用过去分词。 24.motivated　考查形容词。修饰名词cook，作定语用形容词motivated。 25.was qualified　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。主语Charles与谓语之间构成被动关系，根据上文After years of experience可知，发生在过去，应用一般过去时的被动语态，谓语用单数形式。 Ⅲ. 　　She called Aunt Mary， hoping for a response that would prove the inaccuracy of the news. I’ll never forget the hopeful expression on my mother’s face. I heard her almost whisper， “Mary？ Is it you？” On the other line， I clearly heard what sounded like an overjoyed roar， “Florence！” It was a moment of total disbelief turned into absolute joy — Aunt Mary was alive！ Eight years of upset had suddenly been erased from my mother’s face. I knew in her heart that she had always loved her dear sister， and their breakup had hurt her deeply. Not that she had ever admitted it — until now. 　　The sisters reconnected， their voices on the phone carrying the weight of years apart. Both women came to their senses. In the mix of disbelief and gratitude， the unbreakable bond between two sisters， thought to be lost， reappeared stronger than ever. The news that first broke the family now brought them together. Although eight years had passed， Mom and Aunt Mary picked up where they had left off. Living in different states by then， they still managed to get together one way or another. They called， visited， laughed and cried. And yes， they fought and made up， just like in the old days. 3 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
